Zen Blocks

Drag the blocks from the bottom onto the grid. A full row or column blooms and disappears.

• Clearing several lines at once gives a combo: more points.
• When the grid is completely empty, you move to the next level with new colours.
• Always keep room for the big L or bar piece: it is the one that blocks you most often.

Zen Match

Swipe a flower towards its neighbour to line up at least 3 identical flowers. The level goal and the moves left are shown at the top.

• Line up 4 or 5 flowers to create a bonus: stripe, bomb or joker.
• The 100 levels are spread across 10 worlds, with ice to break and caged flowers.
• Stuck? The 3 buttons at the bottom help: hammer, shuffle and extra moves.
• Play near the bottom of the grid first: falling cascades often create free combos.

Zen Tea

Tap a tube, then another one, to pour the top tea. You can only pour onto the same colour or into an empty tube. You win when every tube holds a single colour.

• The fewer moves you make, the more stars you earn.
• Keep an empty tube as long as you can: it is your joker.
• An extra tube or a hint can be offered when you are stuck.

Zen Merge

Slide the whole board (by swiping or with the arrow keys). Two identical pebbles that touch merge: 2 + 2 = 4, 4 + 4 = 8, and so on.

• Keep your biggest pebble in a corner and never move it.
• Mostly use two directions, for example left and down, to keep the board tidy.
• Aim for 512, then 2048!

The garden, missions and streak

Daily missions earn you flowers to decorate your garden. Come back every day to grow your streak: a special gift waits for you on days 3 and 7.
